Further, at Breitbart, you will find references to Hillary Clinton being notified of the threat in Libya but ignoring it, that Libya told the U.S. that Al Qaida claims credit for that planned attack, that Obama hadn't been properly briefed since September 5th, that Obama squarely blames a movie over his own incompetent "leadership," and information regarding other attacks on US consulates in the region.

Ann Coulter sounds all the more prescient now, since in her column this past week she noted that Iraq alone of all the Middle East has remained "pacific" with the United States during past Islamic uprisings. They continue to provide that example to their neighbors. It is interesting to note, further, that they had no part in the Arab Spring that Coulter denounces as being far from a democratic revolution with well thought-out plans for democratic rule, being instead more comparable to the French Revolution.

Try as they might to spin this otherwise, Team Obama is in big trouble and they know it. Why else would the complicit media be so extremely focused on Mitt Romney's statement (that didn't kill anyone) and a filmmaker (who didn't kill anyone) and a movie (that didn't kill anyone)?

UPDATE: Red State lists out multiple foreign papers doing real reporting about the attacks on Americans and they're turning on Obama - even the leftist papers. The kindest of them agree that scapegoating a filmmaker doesn't move the responsibility away from Obama. His moves are highlighting his failed leadership, yet again.

Re-UPDATE: Now that Mitt Romney is coming out strongly for Isreal, and not embarrassed to say that Palestine isn't interested in peace, the anti-Romney attacks are flying. Don't be deceived. He's absolutely right. I know a lot more about Israel and Palestine than I do about Libya, from a well-researched book presenting both sides in their own voices, the voices of real Palestinians and Israelis: The Lemon Tree: An Arab, a Jew, and the Heart of the Middle East, by Sandy Tolan of NPR.

For a democracy to be successful and for government to reflect and uphold the will of the people, it is imperative that citizens take their voting responsibility seriously enough to be well informed. The first step is understanding that there is no such thing as fair and balanced coverage anymore, including the polls and fact-checkers. Including both sides in your sources of information is essential to forming an educated opinion. Both sides leave things out. For example, the leftist news media leaves out the good qualities in Republicans, the Tea Party, conservative causes, etc.
